Ælfred's Daughter: THE BIRTH OF ENGLAND

REVIEWS OF H A CULLEY'S RECENT NOVELS Great story by a very entertaining and knowledgeable writer. I love this series of books. Fast-moving, action-packed and yet the story lets you into the minds of the men who made England. Highly recommended. Another great story from this author. Waiting keenly for the next one. DESCRIPTION When the existence of Mercia is threatened a heroine emerges to fight for her people. That person is Æthelflӕd, daughter of Ælfred the Great. However, even the greatest heroes and heroines have to face their own demons and cope with opposition from within, failure and tragedy. In this action-packed tale what is left of Mercia moves from the brink of extinction to a position of growing strength. However, when the Northumbrian Vikings invade all seems lost. Assisted by her nephew, Æthelstan, and a youth who grew up a feral child in the forest, Æthelflӕd faces a battle against an army of pagan Vikings to determine whether Anglo-Saxon England will survive.
